The planes start from the first row, move into a formation giving the best advantage, cross no-man's land where they Weill be met by opponents' planes in an attempt to resist the attack. Planes will be shot down and taken from the board, bombs dropped and buildings destroyed. In the end the game will be won by the General of the air.
